=Welcome to the Technology Committee wiki at the Overseas School of Colombo= Through this wiki, the group will exchange and share ideas and resources. Members, feel free to include anything you wish that would be useful to the group.

The main purpose of this group is to serve as a **data-gathering body for schoolwide technology issues and processes** at OSC, and a group to **suggest improvements** to the administrations based on this data. In short, our purpose is to 'diagnose and feed back'.

On April 17th the committee decided upon a working Technology Mission Statement as follows:

//**OSC MISSION STATEMENT:**// //OSC develops the whole person as a responsible learner striving for personal excellence within a culturally diverse school.//

//**OSC TECHNOLOGY MISSION STATEMENT:**// //OSC prepares technologically literate students for global citizenship in the 21st century. The OSC learning community collaborates and contributes to society responsibly through engagement with information, ideas and technology.//

//Beliefs:// //The OSC learning community includes students, educators, parents and the local/global community.// //OSC is committed to staying current with changing technologies and expectations of how students learn and teachers teach.// //OSC will teach students to understand technology’s limitations and benefits.// //OSC recognizes technology is not an end in itself within an educational setting, but a tool to be used to develop higher order thinking skills in students.//
